Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and a coalition of attorney generals from 27 states are petitioning the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to comply with a March federal ruling and end President Joe Biden’s “catch-and-release” policy, which extends parole to certain illegal immigrants entering the southern border.
Ms. Moody successfully sued the Biden administration over this “extended-release” policy, which paroles illegal immigrants on a case-by-case basis for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit,” according to Section 1182 of the U.S. Code 8.
